Parklane

We've finally moved into the new house.
And I have to say.
It looks like something out of a magazine.
All my life I've only ever seen my friends move into big bungalows with posh furnishings and lots of land around the house.
Never did I expect to one day live in a house exactly like it.
It's beautiful.
Gated property about half an hour from town centre. Lovely neighbours. The dogs get to go for their walks every evening. I finally have my own bathroom instead of having to use the common bath. The shower is a dream I've never spent more than an hour having a shower before :P
 The dining.

The hall.

 This is from the main entrance/foyer.
It's dad's birthday and mum and dad's anniversary today. Had a quiet evening in with the neighbours. The big do is on Saturday and dad has no clue what's coming his way.
Got back last Friday evening.

Took a flight from JB to KL as usual and a Yoyo back to Ipoh.
Bus rides make me so sick I can't stand it. I starved the entire day just so I wouldn't get motion sickness but it still got to me. Bloody nonsense.

Addicted to The Piano Guys. Bought their CD today and it's playing for the third time in a row since early this evening.

And after weeks I'm finally having a little time to get back to my reading.
Current read is Dorothy Koomson's Goodnight Beautiful. Nova reminds me so much of Amber from The Chocolate Run. And Mal reminds me of the guy she meets at the store while sniffing chocolates. 

I'm only about quarter of the way through but it's a beautiful read so far.



"...Maybe at some point I would grow up. Not in the sense of being old enough to vote, get married, leave home, get a job. But in the sense of being able to understand the world more. Being able to pinpoint why some are chosen, some are not. Why are some are blessed and others seem to suffer. Maybe that was what being a grown up truly meant. You finally understood the ways of the world you were finally given insight into the truth of life. Maybe you could do all those other things, live as though you were grown up but you would never be grown up until you had that kind of understanding and knowledge. Until you had that kind of enlightenment. Maybe that's what enlightenment was. Maybe it wasn't being able to sit crossed legged while wearing white robes and chanting and feeling 'at one with the world', as I had been reading about; maybe enlightenment was simply being able to understand."


"And sometimes, it's not his eyes that go wandering, but his heart. And how do you stop that? How do you stop him being in love with someone else at the same time that he is in love with you? How? By being thin? Because believe me, that doesn't always work. In fact, it never works. So, how do you stop him splitting his heart in two and giving you only half? When you're meant to be the one who gets it all, how do you settle for half?"


Reading.
I feel so complete when I read.


More soon.

Table Topics: Judgement & Understanding

Took one of my classmates out today coz she needed to get some things. She's been through a lot. Nothing I will disclose here but we had a pretty long chat in the car once we got back. And it's really true what they say about never judging someone before getting to know them. She opened up to me about everything that was going on. How she felt about things. How she was dealing with things. And at the end of the day it all boils down to understanding. There's a reason behind the things people do. It's simply a matter of accepting that reason and understanding them for it and them helping them get through it. You hear stories about married couples going through a divorce. It's really not an option anyone should think about after marriage. After all it's for better or for worse, right? But what if sometimes it becomes too much to bear? What if sometimes things get impossible to handle? What if that's the reason divorces happen in the first plac

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once

Dubai

Dubai was actually a layover. Since I have friends there I decided to spend a few days with them before flying out to London.  I took Emirates to and from Dubai & the UK & it was great. The unlimited wine was a major plus :P Only spent about 3 days in Dubai so I saw only a few of the major must-see spots.  My friend picked me up from the airport & we went to her place first. It was about 20 minutes away. More depending on traffic. Roads are very broad and each side has 6 lanes with a minimum of 3 on average. You see a lot of SUVs there. There's a lot of American influence. The UAE doesn't have their own national car.  It felt a lot like being in KL at first. Only after a while I started taking in the difference. Plenty of skyscrapers everywhere. But unlike KL, buildings here are built much closer together. & there is a LOT of development going on, still.  After washing up at home, we headed out to the Burj. The entrance is within the Dubai Mal
